Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky finish on tyre
Ensure the tyre surface is completely clean and dry before application. Use a clean applicator pad and spread the product evenly, avoiding over-application in one spot. Wipe away excess immediately.
Product flinging onto paintwork
Allow the product to dry completely on the tyre before driving. Ensure no excess product has been left on the tyre tread or shoulder. Apply a thinner, more even coat if necessary.
Tyre looks dull after application
Apply a second coat of the dressing, ensuring the first coat has had sufficient time to dry. Check that the product has not been diluted or wiped off excessively.
